Jean "Moebius" Giraud just died of cancer. The best comic book artist to ever live.
You'll be missed.

He was one of the artists who started the Heavy Metal magazine
Here's some of his work: http://www.flickr.com/photos/9120653@N06/sets/72157624366887263/with/4811762086/ (http://www.flickr.com/photos/9120653@N06/sets/72157624366887263/with/4811762086/)
He worked with Alejandro Jorodowsky many times (the guy who directed el topo and the holy mountain) and wrote some of his best work making comics with Moebius.
Read the Incal, one of the best comics ever made IMO.
